Chapter Index

    Anyway, the cleanup is over.

    Of course, others in Moonwoljeong might oppose it, but the governor gave his permission, so what can you do?

    And maybe there were people who would vehemently agree.

    Munwoljeong and Hongseongmun have been competing for a long time. As such, they knew each other’s powers well.

    Unlike Munwoljeong, which tightly controlled one city, Hongseongmun was a sect that aimed for a small number of elites.

    Hongseongmun had hoped to expand during the previous Jangmun Dynasty, but it failed, and Geomseong became Jangmunin, and his power was greatly reduced.

    Still, Hong Seong-moon’s power was not something that could be ignored.

    Meanwhile, Seomhwachon, where Hong Seongmun was based, became Seomhwaseong.

    In addition, he captured the new Four Heukryeon and Dool, and also defeated the Iron Blood Order, which was putting the world in jeopardy.

    Being able to join hands with Hong Seong-moon without much struggle is also an improvement from Moon Wol-jeong’s perspective.

    In other words, I will be able to create a powerful force centered around me.

    If that happens, it will be extremely good for Moonwoljeong executives.

    Even if such an important position were created, Hong Seong-moon’s staff is small anyway.

    So, you would think that Moonwoljeong’s power would become stronger there.

    Of course, if they get greedy enough to cause problems, I won’t stay silent, and they know that too, so they won’t cross the line.

    But even so, it cannot be said that the amount of soybean water falling is small.

    “And they will think that your outstanding investment skills and knowledge are easy to access.”

    I nodded at what the apprentice said.

    It’s just as he said. Among the people who approach me now, there are quite a few who ask me to invest together or if I have good development information.

    But why would I share such good information?

    Even if you eat it with people you know, it’s not enough.

    So, most of them smiled and declined, but if you are in the same group, they may just refuse. Also, if they succeed, it will benefit me too.

    Anyway, there was nothing to worry about because those who thought Chaejin’s marriage was beneficial would take my side.

    I patted Chaejin on the back.

    “So don’t worry.”

    “Haha…”

    To Chaejin, Moonwoljeong executives were negative figures who put pressure on her.

    Not simply because I dislike Chaejin, but for the future of Moonwoljeong.

    Therefore, she couldn’t help but hate them, so she smiled slightly at my words.

    “Now. So, shall we start sparring? Hongryeon. You can come too.”

    “Hmm. Yes.”

    Learning from someone as strong as an apprentice would be of great help to Hongryeon.

    Of course, even if the basics were learned from a sword saint, an apprentice would have his or her own know-how.

    There was no reason to refuse when he said he would obediently pass it on.

    “Go back. Because I will be next to Yuwol.”

    “…Master. Because there is no player striking?”

    “Oh, no!”

    As Hongryeon stared at him and opened his mouth, Geomseong shouted loudly. Hongryeon chuckled at her.

    “I will believe it.”

    “Um.”

    In the end, Hongryeon heads towards Chaejin.

    As I watched the apprentice standing in front of them pull out a strong sword and demonstrate by swinging it, Geomseong smiled and said,

    “Then, can we go out for a while and then come back? Because the learning time will never be small.”

    “Of course.”

    That’s a good thing, because I also have to take care of some other things. I went out with Geomseong, and as soon as I came out of the training hall, Geomseong hugged me tightly.

    “…Honestly, my stomach turned.”

    “Hahaha…”

    I guess it’s because of the apprentice’s joke earlier, right? But it’s a one-time thing, so I hope you can just move on.

    “If it weren’t for you, I would have swung the knife right away.”

    “Thank you for your patience.”

    “Phew. This is very tiring. I’m under a lot of emotional burden, but I don’t think someone will comfort me?”

    At a glance, he begins to steal glances at me from the position in which he holds my arm. It was so cute that I just kept my mouth shut, and Geomseong started crying and hugged me even harder.

    “Someone! I’ll comfort you! I don’t want to!”

    “Haha. All right. Then, shall we take a quick look around Cheongho?”

    “Hmm!!”

    Geomseong snorted and his eyes sparkled. When Geomseong, who fell away from me happily, walked one step ahead.

    “Oh! Master?!”

    Sayun walked along with Chae-ryeon. Geomseong smiled brightly at her.

    “Hehe. Good morning? What a nice weather.”

    “Yes! So that’s it! Master. Ryeon asks to go out together, and Master goes too! Even you!”

    “…Uh, huh?”

    “They say that going to Cheongho in the summer has nice scenery and a lot of things to see. So…”

    Sayun gently lowered her head, looked up at me and Geomseong, and spoke in an earnest tone.

    “Can’t you come with me?”

    Sayoon’s gaze!

    The effect was amazing!

    “Yeah, right. Let’s go together.”

    Anyway, Geomseong is a really nice person. Seeing how he couldn’t refuse such a request from his cute student.

    I patted Geomseong’s shoulder and she let out a groan as Sayun went to another place with Chaeryeon.

    “Uuuh…”

    “Thank you.”

    I stroked Sword Saint’s head, and she grumbled.

    “…I am not a child.”

    “Ah. okay. Then stop stroking…”

    “…I didn’t mean to stop.”

    That’s not honest.

    “Have you ever been to Cheongho?”

    “Hmm. I’ve been here a few times.”

    “Wow. Really?”

    “As you know, before I stayed at Hongseongmun, I kept wandering around outside. You know?”

    “Ah. yes! It was to find other sisters, right?”

    “Okay. At the same time as gathering disciples, Hong Seong-moon…”

    Geomseong was glum at first because they couldn’t go out to play, but Geomseong looked quite happy as he held hands with Sayun and walked ahead, chatting away.

    Well, it was worth it.

    The reason why Geomseong has not appeared to the outside world until now is not only because of her inner demons and anxiety, but also to reduce the burden on Hongryeon, who will become the next Jangmunin.

    A martial arts genius.

    That was the word that could describe Na Yerin, the Sword Saint.

    He has reached the level of a superhuman at the age of less than 20, and stands shoulder to shoulder with other superhumans.

    He tried to hide such great achievements as much as possible and humble himself to reduce the burden Hongryeon felt when he became a Jangmun person in the future.

    However, now that Hongryeon has reached the level of a superhuman, her burden will be greatly reduced.

    At least a year or two.

    If you can freely handle strong energy and dissolve it in herbivory, you will be able to completely reduce the burden on Geomseongdo.

    “I hate to say this, but Sword Saint is quite cute.”

    “Haha.”

    It was an opinion worth agreeing with.

    Geomsung’s size and face make him look much younger than his actual age.

    Thanks to my strong internal skills, I was full of energy.

    Maybe that’s why Geomseong and Sayun, who walk holding hands, look like good sisters rather than a teacher and student.

    “Hmm…”

    “Why. Are you jealous?”

    “I can’t say no. Chaejin and I don’t get along that well.”

    “Haha. When I think about the welcoming ceremony, it doesn’t seem like that at all.”

    Don’t you think they are that close to you if you feed them so carefully?

    Chaeryeon glanced at me and smiled.

    “It’s not like that in particular… You’ve been amazing these days, right?”

    “Not really.”

    “A lot of calls are coming to me from all over.”

    “Which?”

    “Aren’t you close with the guest owner? Or, please introduce me to me.”

    Chae-ryeon shook her head, showing signs of annoyance.

    Usually, things like this are often introduced through connections, so it wasn’t strange to ask Chae-ryeon, who has wide feet.

    In the case of Cheon Il-hwa and Hano, there was even a time when they joked that they were embarrassed when asked to introduce me.

    So, since he is Chaejin’s younger brother who stays at my guesthouse and works as my escort, there will be many stories like that.

    “It’s okay for a few people.”

    “Huh? Really?”

    “But if you come to my guesthouse and consult, it won’t be difficult to form a relationship with me.”

    “I want to build a deeper relationship. Something like that.”

    The goal is that we can get closer to each other if we are introduced and receive counseling rather than just counseling.

    There was no particular problem.

    “Phew. Thank goodness.”

    “Well, with this much.”

    “Thank you. Brother-in-law.”

    “Did you know?”

    “It’s stupid not to know. That’s how I showed it off.”

    The shoulders of the swordsman who was walking in front with Sayun were shaking. Why are you like that?

    Anyway, that’s not what’s important.

    “Anyway, the situation at Moorim is a bit strange these days.”

    “It’s strange…”

    “Magyoyo.”

    Although the great enemy known as the Iron Blood Order had disappeared, the world was not completely at peace.

    Come to think of it, it was like that in Heavenly Moon. When I think of the people who appear in event stories separate from the main story, I can’t help but feel at ease.

    “Is there any problem with Cheongho?”

    “Cheongho… nothing special. Do you know anything interesting about Cheongho?”

    “I know a few things. Do you know that it is a dragon temple?”

    While we were talking, we arrived at Cheongho before we knew it. There were quite a few people taking a dip in the wide, blue Cheongho Lake.

    There are also people playing by launching boats.

    Some martial artists were practicing Susangbi and were elegantly showing off their spiritual skills by stepping on wooden boards floating in Cheongho Lake.

    “Is this a story about a dragon sleeping at the bottom of Cheongho? Do you know anything? There were a lot of legends about it and I knew nothing about it. I guess you got related data?”

    “Hmm. That’s right.”

    As Chae-ryeon is very interested in secret places, her eyes sparkled.

    “I had to go at least once anyway… so let’s go together then.”

    There was something to be gained from the Dragon Temple.

    It is Yonghyeongdo and Yonghwangeom.

    The Dragon Blade is a weapon that boasts the highest level of swords from the Heavenly Moon.

    Since the Black Moon Sword that Chaejin currently has is an apprentice’s weapon, I wanted to give him a proper weapon as a gift.

    Also, the Yonghwan Sword is a fairly good sword and is the perfect weapon for Hongryeon to use, so it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go to the Dragon Temple and get it.

    I said, staring at the blue tiger.

    “I’m planning to go around this evening, so you know that.”

    “…I’m looking forward to that.”

    “But…”

    “Just?”

    I was staring at Geomseong and Sayun who were excited to see Cheongho, and then I watched them run towards the dock to board the boat and shook my head.

    Actually, there are quite a few enemies while exploring the Dragon Temple…

    “Ahaha! Master!”

    “This guy! Stay calm!”

    Well, I guess it’s okay.
